Photo Share Friday: Choose Happiness

Recently I shared my intentions for the year, aka the ways I want to live every single day.  Top of the list?  Choose happiness.

I had a huge come to Jesus with myself about this very subject a few months ago.  I got so tired of being anxious and worried and full of fear.  But the reality is, no one can change that for me.  Only I control where my mind goes, and how I spend the moments of my life.

One of the best ways to choose happiness?  Surround yourself with happy people.  People that bring you joy and laughter and lift you up when you need it most.


I love this photo, because every person in it makes me happy.  The craziest thing is that four years ago I didn't know any of them.  But somehow the stars aligned and we all found each other, and I can't imagine my life before they got here.  Supportive, smart, creative women.  They're my "tribe".

This weekend a few of them are coming to Seattle and there will be shopping and eating and adventures and laughter.  Follow along on IG @mynewhappy16 to see what we're up to.

We'll definitely be choosing happiness.

I'm linking up today with Finish The Sentence Friday.  There are some wonderful prompts scheduled for the year - join in!

  5. Oh Lana, you hit the nail on the head! Isn't it crazy that we have found women who support us and care so deeply through blogging? Why can't the people around me be like that? I am happy you all are getting together, I'm sure it will be a blast and you all deserve it!
